Commonly Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about customs brokerage
Do I Need A Customs Bond?
Yes, if you’re importing commercial goods valued over $2,500 or goods subject to other government agency requirements, you’ll need a customs bond. This serves as a financial guarantee to the U.S. government that you’ll comply with all regulations and pay all duties, taxes, and fees.
Can I Get Help Filing Out An ISF Form?
Absolutely. Our licensed customs brokers can help you complete and file your Importer Security Filing (ISF) form, also known as the 10+2 form. This must be filed 24 hours before your goods are loaded onto a vessel bound for the U.S. to avoid potential penalties of $5,000 per violation.
Why Is My Freight Caught In Customs?
Freight can be held in customs for various reasons, including incomplete or incorrect documentation, missing permits or licenses, random inspections, or compliance issues with government agencies like FDA or USDA. Our team can help identify the specific reason and work to resolve the issue promptly.

Yes, we can provide a comprehensive breakdown of all costs associated with your import, including duties, taxes, customs fees, and our brokerage services. We believe in transparent pricing and will work with you to ensure you understand all costs involved in your import process.
